When will pc graphics start to really outpace console (this gen) graphics?

Haha wow, that Cry Engine 3 demo really makes the HD twins look pathetic. <_<

Guess it really is in the eye of the beholder...that demo didnt make me think "wow consoles suck" it made me think about how close a console experience can be to a high end gaming rig without all the hassle...and about how great its going to look on a 60 inch screen.  I really dont think the vast majority is going to care the clouds are volumetric enough or that extra foliage doesnt fall off when you shoot a tree.  Its close enough that for most the graphics are more than acceptable on consoles when your running and gunning, but there are enough differences that PC gaming enthusiasts can pick apart the minutia and feel "superior" as they slowly walk through their FPS so they dont miss the details.

I wasn't aware there was any hassle associated with PC gaming in the first place...?

And besides, a PC can hook up to your 60" TV all the same - and look better in the process.

 

As I said a few pages back, it's hilarious to see the PS360 fans use the same arguments towards PC gaming that they'll dismiss with respect to the Wii.
